So I drew the Androscoggin, a little waterfall right here in Lewiston and Auburn. And I drew it because when I first came here, I went to Bates. That was the first thing I noticed, like that beautiful waterfall, and it made me feel hopeful that, you know, my time there was going to be a really lovely time. And it was definitely. And once I graduated, I feel like I had to stay here for a little bit. And I, it was once I started doing work in the community outside of the Bates sphere that really made me fall in love with Lewiston because there's such rich work that's being done here. There's such like a community-minded like focus here. And it's just like, I think I want that to continue and I have hope for Lewiston and to continue to thrive and to have the resources that it deserves for its community members to thrive. And so I feel like that waterfall is so beautiful. You know, there's just so much flowing, ideas, people, things like that. And so I think that's what really the waterfall represents for me. It's just like the mix and the flow of the Lewiston vibe, if you will.
